Grimsay, Tidal island in Outer Hebrides, Scotland.
Grimsay extends four miles in length and two miles in width, surrounded by shallow waters and white sand formations between North Uist and Benbecula.
The North Ford Causeway, opened in 1960 by the Queen Mother, replaced the traditional ferry system that operated only during high tide periods.
The settlement of Kallin maintains a strong fishing tradition with its harbor supporting local shellfish industry and traditional boatbuilding practices.
A single-track road circles the island, connecting the settlements of Baymore and Kallin while providing access to various crofting communities.
The Bàgh nam Feadag Iron Age wheelhouse on the northeast coast stands as an archaeological structure representing ancient settlement patterns.
